32
birthday oh my god you got me a really nice present last year on my birthday.
33
I did?
34
Yeah.
35
Whatever, I mean, I feel like Barbie would have a very specific plan for what she wants.
36
I don't know that he,
37
oh my God, I'm getting anxiety thinking about planning Barbie's party.
38
We're gonna be in Korea on my birthday.
39
That's right.
40
It's July, I think.
41
I know I arranged for that.

That's why you planned this question.
46
Thank you.
47
Do you think she'll want flowers or jewelry, maybe?
48
I don't know.
49
She'd probably want me to donate her presents.
50
You could do that, too.
51
Right?
52
You want all your presents donated, right?
53
Yeah, but if you wanted to do both,
54
give me diamonds and flowers and donate things,
55
I think that would be the trifecta.
56
Okay, all right.
57
Shiny things or things that smell nice.
58
I need a minute.
59
I got some.
60
I had to make a call.

Honestly, I know it's going to sound like I'm being silly because it's Barbie.
64
You've never seen anything like it.
65
Honestly, you have never seen...
66
I honestly think this is the most impressive performance.
67
And you may never want to see anything like it again.
68
You will.
69
I don't think people are ready for what they're about to get.
70
And I just have to say,
71
I know this is very cliche,
72
but those abs, though, that was like 10,
73
that's not even a six,
74
it was like a 10-pack.
75
Yeah.
76
Like, sort of beyond six.
77
That regimen was probably insane.
78
Maybe 12-pack.
79
That was all thanks to a Daniel Craig's ab machine, actually.

Really?
81
Yeah.
82
It was, none of that was CGI.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
